Grammy award-winning singer Erykah Badu and her rapper beau, Jay Electronica, welcomed a baby girl on Sunday, the singer's publicist confirmed. The couple blogged about the birth of their child on the Twitter Web site. Badu said she had a home birth that lasted about five hours and that she didn't use painkillers. The newborn is the couple's first child together, but is the third child for the soulful Texan beauty who also has a 10-year-old son, Seven, with rapper-turned-actor Andre "3000" Benjamin; and a four-year-old daughter, Puma, with rapper and childhood friend, Tracey "The D.O.C." Curry.
Badu, 37, released her fifth album in February 2008.
